Description - Step 1

Step 1: Prep all the items

Since charcuterie boards are traditional, no-cook, and meant to last till the end, opt for dry snacks and store-bought items. Add items like farsan, namkeen, salted peanuts, namak para, and chips in small bowls or paper cones. Also, add all chutneys to separate dipping bowls.

Description - Step 2

Step 2: Assemble the charcuterie board

On a large charcuterie board, place the chutney cups in a line (in the centre). Arrange small bowls of namkeen, peanuts, and farsan around the outer edges to frame the board. Set a small rectangular plate of samosas and kachoris next to the dips. In the end, stack the besan ladoos in a pyramid for visual drama. Fill the remaining space with chikki, kaju katli, and banana chips.

Step 3: Garnish and serve
